Pink Shoe Polish?

[foofoogal]

I am considering listing these shoes but wondering if there is a resource for polish in vintage colors?
In fair condition but would be nice if I could touch them up or is it worth it?
Sort of pink, sort of salmon?
I only bought them as I thought the label was cute. Not my size.
Any help greatly appreciated. Think about a 9 w/o measuring.
1950s/1960s.
Thanks. Sandy

Sandy, I think your shoes were originally white and someone has painted them.

Shoe paint comes in a variety of colours - if you try your local shoe repairer they should be able to show you. In view of the fact that the colour is not original, I would not worry about repainting them.

A good shoe repair shop should be able to help. My experience is though, much like with dry-cleaners, not to go with some big chain shop, but to find the "traditional" shoe repair shop run probably by just one guy, but one who really knows how to do things the right way, not just how to operate some machinery. I have a pair of modern hot pink pumps, not even real leather, that I took to have the heel tips done. Thanks to my office chair they suffered some damage that doesn't look much different from what your shoes suffered - just not so big. He actually had matching shoe paint and repaired that damage too, without my asking. I won't go toanother shoe repair shop anymore , and I'd trust him with vintage shoes too.
